Seasick: Saving The Hauraki Gulf

An engaging series and stand-alone documentary that looks at the degradation of New Zealand's most populous harbor the Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand's only Marine Park, and explores what steps can be taken to save it from the brink of collapse both in terms of sea life and pollution. One solution may be going back to sustainable indigenous Maori fishing methods.

  • Commercial Fishing
    Saturday, April 12
    5:30 pm on FNX 9.3
    We are still trawling much of the marine park. Why? Is it necessary? How do we stop it? Seek alternatives to commercial fishing practices and areas fished. Is artisanal fishing (by line) OK? What about the science behind it all? The international goal is 30% protection, we have .3% currently.
  • Recreational Fishing
    Saturday, April 19
    5:30 pm on FNX 9.3
    There are many, many recreational fishers and this is a problem too. How to educate recreational fisher people, investigate fish limits and sizes with sustainability in mind. But mainly, look at marine protected areas, types, and uses where fish can breed safely, and seafloor material can get established perpetuating more life. Perhaps there?s an indigenous solution.
  • Pollution
    Saturday, April 26
    5:30 pm on FNX 9.3
    Mitigate land runoff, more active measures are needed by council, developers, and farmers. Look at what Auckland is doing to fix this issue. Look at a good news story about cleaning a bay with mussel farming.
  • Te Ao Maori, The Maori World View
    Saturday, May 3
    5:30 pm on FNX 9.3
    Explain the indigenous Maori mindset as regards the environment. Pre-colonial Maori fishing philosophies and techniques make sense. View the harbor as a treasure to be shared by all-take only what's needed not a resource to plunder or profit from. Show how traditional views and modern sustainability views are essentially the same view. Show the adverse environmental effects of colonialization. Be more sympathetic with nature.
  • Better Uses of the Treasure
    Saturday, May 10
    5:30 pm on FNX 9.3
    Look at other uses for the harbor-mussel and seaweed farming. Explore sea tourism. We look at food provenance, why are we aware of egg, chicken, and other animals' welfare and origin but with seafood, we have no idea. We discuss how sustainable the seafood industry is restaurants, supermarkets, etc. Follow a good news story of handing out free fish heads and frames to Marae (Maorivillages) around Auckland.
  • The Future of the Hauraki Gulf
    Saturday, May 17
    5:30 pm on FNX 9.3
    Is the environmental mess we find ourselves in due to our drift from nature? We look at our relationship with nature and whether greed is partly responsible for the gulf's deterioration. Look at some of the solutions. There is hope, it is not too late. What about the young people? The solution is now in their hands. Together with better government, we can make a difference.
  • The Treasure
    Saturday, May 24
    5:30 pm on FNX 9.3
    We look at what a treasure the Hauraki Gulf is, how unique and bio-diverse it is and how abundant it once was. On the doorstep of our largest city, it is a playground for many. But it is in trouble - in fact in trophic collapse. With so many grim reports, why has so little actually been done?
